Comprehensive Service for Renewing Your Design in Guyana
Our law firm handles the complete process of renewing your registered design in Guyana. We ensure that your design remains continuously protected and notify you in advance of any necessary steps.
1. Protection Duration and Renewal Options
A registered design in Guyana can be extended to a maximum protection duration of 15 years. The protection period begins on the filing date with the office or, if priority is claimed, on the respective priority date. After registration, the design is initially protected for a first period of 5 years, which can be extended twice by an additional 5 years each.
2. Renewal Procedure
The renewal of a design in Guyana involves the following steps:
- A formal application to the relevant office,
- The payment of renewal fees.
It is possible to apply for both renewal periods at the same time. However, the renewal application must always be submitted before the current protection period expires, and the fees should be paid in advance. The renewal takes effect at the end of the previous protection period.
3. Grace Period and Late Payment Fees
If the renewal fees are not paid on time, payment can still be made within a grace period of up to 3 months. However, a late payment fee will apply, amounting to 100% of the registration fee per started month of delay. If these deadlines are not met, the design protection will lapse permanently.
4. Required Information for Renewal
To process your design renewal, we require the following information:
- Registration number of the design
- Filing date or priority date (if applicable)
This information ensures the application is handled accurately and submitted on time.
5. Costs for Design Renewal
Our offer includes:
- Our consultation fees
- The official renewal fees charged by the office
The prices are exclusive of applicable VAT. Late payment fees or other additional charges are not included in the standard price and will be billed separately.
